On Saturday night, we had an excellent turnout for our 4th annual Chili Cookoff dinner, which raised funds for our United Methodist Women's mission efforts here in Meriden and elsewhere. We had ten great chili dishes, lots of newcomers and old friends, wonderful fellowship, and a suspenseful moment as a revote of one miscast ballot led to a tie-breaker. We had three great winning chilis this year, but everyone was a winner by showing up, and pitching in. We're so grateful for everyone for coming and helping, and especially grateful for Charlene Bodero's diligent efforts in organizing the event. Thank you all, come again soon! Photos below.
